Habakkuk 1:13-15
Young's Literal Translation
13 Purer of eyes than to behold evil, To look on perverseness Thou art not able, Why dost Thou behold the treacherous? Thou keepest silent when the wicked Doth swallow the more righteous than he,
14 And Thou makest man as fishes of the sea, As a creeping thing -- none ruling over him.
15 Each of them with a hook he hath brought up, He doth catch it in his net, and gathereth it in his drag, Therefore he doth joy and rejoice.

New International Version
Habakkuk 1:13-15
New International Version
13 Your eyes are too pure(A) to look on evil;
you cannot tolerate wrongdoing.(B)
Why then do you tolerate(C) the treacherous?(D)
Why are you silent while the wicked
swallow up those more righteous than themselves?(E)
14 You have made people like the fish in the sea,
like the sea creatures that have no ruler.
15 The wicked(F) foe pulls all of them up with hooks,(G)
he catches them in his net,(H)
he gathers them up in his dragnet;
and so he rejoices and is glad.
